Excellent Summer Conditions Continue on the North Fork

The North Fork has delivered exceptional fishing conditions throughout the summer at Boxwood Gulch Ranch and Long Meadow, with cold water temperatures and stable, consistent flows ranging from 150–400 CFS all season long. Our guides continue to report outstanding bug activity, healthy and aggressive trout, and impressive rainbow trout measuring well beyond the 24-inch mark. While many rivers across Colorado are unfortunately experiencing drought-related challenges, including low flows and warm water, the North Fork remains one of the state’s premier fisheries and an outstanding destination for your 2026 Colorado fly fishing trip. If you’re looking for reliable conditions, trophy trout, and incredible summer fishing, there’s no better place to be than Boxwood Gulch Ranch!
